ice emperor

Must Ilya Ivanov clearly realize the gap between the three of them?

Although it feels a little uncomfortable to be excluded from the opponent who is important, but as the best brother, there is no doubt that this kind of favor must be helped...

After listening to Johnny's request, he murmured to himself, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement. The two chatted with each other with a smile. After returning to the backcourt preparation area, they moved to the activity room allocated by the competition organizing committee to start practicing. One and a half hours before the performance, under the guidance of James Joyce, he modified and adjusted the free skating program that he was so familiar with that he was almost instinctive.

At 5000 o'clock in the evening, the ice pouring of the ice rink was completed, and the spectators who watched the thank-you performance entered the arena one by one. The Palavina Stadium, which can accommodate [-] people to watch the game, was full of seats.

Half an hour later at [-]:[-], the on-site announcer opened the warm-up. According to the invited performers, the Turin Winter Olympics figure skating four individual events, bronze medal, silver medal, gold medal, ice dance, women's singles, pairs, men's In the order of the list, I introduced the athletes who participated in the performance skating tonight.

Then, the music played, and a team of young local figure skating fans in Turin stood on the ice rink and performed a parade performance. The main lights of the venue were turned off and the follow-up lights turned to the entrance and exit of the ice rink, winning the Winter Olympic Games. The American partner of ice dance No.4 in the sports meeting stepped onto the ice with warm applause from the audience, kicking off the performance skating.

At the same time, the TV media broadcasting the show from all over the world also led the audience to review the ups and downs of the figure skating competition, which almost attracted the attention of the whole world, under the explanations of their own hosts and commentators.

However, no matter which country it is, there are only two central topics of discussion.One, the astonishing increase in difficulty of the women's individual events.Two, the gap is extremely small, the most brilliant and dazzling, after this Olympic Games, it is destined to be a long time, the men's figure skating single event that cannot be reproduced, the peak confrontation of the three kings.

'As I said to George, based on all the news, I have a hunch that after today's performance skating, the future men's singles skating event will fall into a very embarrassing situation. '

'The reason for this conclusion is very simple. With the retirement of Johnny Wassenberg, Ilya Ivanov, Joel Duroc and Leo Baldman, the men's singles It ushered in an era where there was no suspense in the game. "

"Think about it, with the current strength of the Chinese Louis Woz, without these opponents who can occasionally cause him some trouble, he only needs to use half of his current technical strength to control the game. Maybe his supporters It would make me happy, but I think this state of affairs is not conducive to the development of the program, and the ISU certainly does not want to face this situation."

In the NBC live broadcast room, the two hosts seized the less important time period in the early stage of performance skating, and first commented on the performance of the top three athletes in the four individual events of figure skating in this Olympic Games, and then changed the topic to discuss the focus It fell on An Yi and sighed his invincibility, and lamented that his existence would surely plunge the future men's singles field into a relatively boring dark period where the new generation of athletes could not see a glimmer of hope.

But who is to blame?

Blame the Chinese Louis Watts for being too strong, or blame the remaining men's singles players for being too weak after Johnny Wasenberg, Ilya Ivanov and others retired?

Recalling the climax of the free skating finals a few days ago, these professionals can now conclude that today's performance slipped behind the scenes, and in the near future... More precisely, at the World Figure Skating Championships in March, men's singles The difficulty of skating, whether it is short program or free skating, will collapse like a cliff.

Ordinary audiences, countless figure skating enthusiasts, who were raised by Louis Watts, Johnny Wasenberg, and Ilya Ivanov, and those who only like to watch high-quality and difficult competitions will not be satisfied.

For a long time to come, let alone continue to appreciate one after another evenly matched and flawless wonderful duels, just one point, the number of quadruple jumps that can be seen in the short program plus free skating, compared to now Not on one level.

"Pay attention to Johnny here. The main reason why you jump around the back and outside on the ice, and you can't turn around when you land on the ice for the second take-off is that the angle of your first take-off and slide-in is slightly lacking, which affects The distance of the first jump and the speed of sliding out of the falling ice make you unable to use the inertia in the second jump to gain more time for the second jump.”

"Look here. You can..."

In the NBC live broadcast room, in the activity room at the back of the Paravina Stadium, when the two live broadcast commentators expressed their emotions, An Yi and Johnny's four-week training session has also entered a critical stage, wearing a full set of Chinese delegation sportswear, An Yi, who was wearing a protective cover on his skates, kicked Johnny's right foot that supported his body under the watchful eyes of James Joyce and An Zexian, and wrapped his hands around his waist to take it out, teaching Four weeks after four weeks, the relevant details of this technical action that can scare people to death.

On the other side, Johnny listened and thought, and soon understood what An Yi meant.Putting on the pre-jump posture on the flat ground time and time again deepens the muscle memory, and the mental state is extremely focused, and he is not distracted by An Yi's hands that occasionally brush his buttocks, waist, and thigh muscles.

then.

With a sound of swiping, he, who was also on skates, hit the ground with the blade teeth of his left foot after An Yi sent a signal, took off, spun around for two weeks and fell, adjusted his posture and jumped up again, thirty times, fifty times, a hundred times, unconsciously An hour passed.

Gradually, as the training progressed, he not only gained more experience in this extremely difficult technical movement, but also gained a lot of confidence in successfully completing it.Besides, he even had a greedy thought.He can learn and master quadruple jump after quadruple jump under the guidance of Louis, so if possible in the future, can he also try to see Axel quadruple jump?

"... AN, I have to say, maybe Lewis will be a better figure skating head coach than me when he retires."

In a corner of the activity room, James Joyce, who had been observing the interaction between the two disciples and occasionally interjected a few words, let out a long breath in a happy mood, and proudly raised his chin to signal his old friend to look at the two who were discussing something. The child continued.

"It's almost... Shun... Shun what?"

"It's logical, it's natural."

"Oh, yes! It's almost a logical and natural development. Louis has achievements, experience, and the most professional and accurate understanding of the sport. After breaking away from the role of an athlete, he becomes a coach and brings out more disciples. The chances of continuing to succeed are quite high.”

At this point, he stopped his voice and organized his words. He noticed that the training of the two disciples had come to an end and it was time to play. After thinking about the thoughts that had been imagined countless times in his heart, he left a word of apology and walked towards the disciples.

Sighing in his heart, he really felt that his beloved little disciple was very suitable as a coach.Not only is it comprehensive in technology and rich in experience, but many years later there will be a Canadian company - no!It should be said that it is the inheritance of the world's leading figure skating club.

If such a great advantage is not utilized and not just wasted, I am afraid that even God will not be able to stand it.

"..."

In deep thought, he watched James Joyce walk to An Yiqiang Ni, and put an end to this special training session. An Zexian had to admit that the whispered words that Joyce left before leaving That's right, my precious son may really be a natural for this job.

Looking back on his career so far, as an athlete, it is hard to imagine anyone better than him.

Letting go of the selfishness of letting your children run wild and spend the rest of your life carefree, and summing up a series of convenient conditions at home and abroad, development, resources, etc., the advantages of my little ghost in this industry are too great to dare to think about.

and so……

Just decide like that?

Well, let's do this for now, and discuss it with the children later. If you want to change it, it's not impossible.

It's just that once the decision is made, it will only be hard for him as an old man, not only to solve the problem of the brat's retirement after returning to China after the Winter Olympics, but also to solve a series of problems that he needs to learn and pay attention to when he turns from an athlete to a coach.

With his lesson from the past, he doesn't want to be like his old man, who is not prepared to let the child run around alone and waste time.The piles of training plans, training methods and techniques, materials on muscle mechanics, and professional books are exhausting.

"Lao An, the front is almost done, your side..."

At 09:30 and [-]:[-]:[-], several people who received the notice from the staff of the Chinese national team learned that the performance skating had already progressed to the women’s singles bronze medal winners, and the four who had completed the program preparations immediately left the activity room and returned to the backcourt to prepare area, resting while waiting for their own performance to come.

At the same moment, Chen Jiankai and Wang Xinyue presented a wonderful performance with no jumping but skating skills, and the difficulty of lifting was firmly in the front line of the duo with the title of "Butterfly Transformation" on the ice surface in the front field.

The audience, who knew very well what the ill-fated couple had experienced in the final of the pair free skating, did not hesitate to applaud and applaud them, and thanked them for their efforts for this sport with practical actions.

1 minute, 2 minutes, the performance skating is over, under the spotlight, in the familiar and unfamiliar center of the "arena", Wang Xinyue, who has been suppressing her emotions due to injuries and dragging down Chen Jiankai these days, burst into tears until she was rarely seen. Chen Jiankai, who is tough and calm with few words, unexpectedly hugged her and held her on the cheek, in front of the camera of the live broadcast camera. After deeply kissing her lips and saying something, Wang Xinyue stopped the tears and put her forehead on Chen Jiankai's chest and was led away from the arena by him.

During the whole process, recorded by the live camera lens, she and Chen Jiankai's five fingers intertwined, and the palms of their right hands were so tightly clenched.

The white backs of the hands and the trembling muscles seemed to be enduring and accumulating.It seems that in this way, encourage and support each other and give strength to the other half.

"Hey……"
